00:00offering them free nuclear fuel. They weren't interested in that because they wanted to build
00:05a nuclear weapon. So instead, the regime was trying to reconstitute its weapons program at
00:12a different site. They couldn't go back to where they were, the three sites that we obliterated.
00:18But they were starting work at another site, a different site, different kind of a site.
00:23And that was protected by granite. They wanted it protected. Granite's pretty good.
00:30But they wanted it protected by a lot deeper. They wanted to go a lot deeper. And they started the
00:35process while rapidly building conventional ballistic missiles. They were going to do it
00:41all at the same time. It threatened our overseas bases and soon could have reached even our homeland.
00:48The regime's intention was to use this exponentially growing ballistic missile threat to make it
00:54virtually impossible to prevent them from obtaining a nuclear weapon. So as you probably saw,
01:00are very high right now. I'll close because I think I have the floor only for another few minutes
01:08by talking just briefly about Kansas. Why would a Rhode Islander want to talk about Kansas?
01:16I'll tell you why. Because they tried this in Kansas. They had a similar law in Kansas.
01:32And it went to court. And the court threw it out as unconstitutional. The Save America Act resembles
01:42a law in Kansas that was decided to be unconstitutional. Some other interesting things the court found.
01:51Across 19 years, the proponents of that law could only show 67 non-citizens registered
02:14companies for railใ. It was ratherแบญt than 5 0 U. Sizziness term. Right? Since the Star ofkeeping
02:32vacunation was a cรณporance honor to have been provided by the public orrรฅd in
02:32security they ended up in King, Kansas City. Whenever a common equalไธ่ฅฟ went you to
02:32visit his office, it was actually 19, 80% of Turkey where our ัะฐะฝgers moved into
02:35in Saudi Arabia of Kansas City. Now is a the schautuch for the fact that hecks
02:36on the national security health treatment team. And the xukeeperesti and generally go
02:37ahead of hisboarding scene externally, and I came
03:00The U.S. taking all the risks, not prepared to help him secure the Strait of Hormuz so that oil
03:07can get out,
03:08and then complaining about the price of oil around the world.
03:11And for him, that sounds like NATO not really stepping up.
03:15And so you're hearing some pretty strong language.
03:18I mean, I don't think he's ever called NATO countries cowards before.
03:22That is pretty direct. Paper tigers, as he put it.
03:26And there was a threat in there. He said the U.S. would remember all this.
03:30Now, we don't really know what the plan is for sort of completely opening up the Strait.
03:36There's a bunch of Marines on the way to the region, a couple of these Marine Expeditionary Units,
03:43one from Mokinawa in Japan.
03:45And we've learned today from our partners, CBS, that another 2,500 Marines potentially are sailing from the west coast
03:54of the United States.
03:55Now, that will take them some time to get to the region.
03:59His death is unlikely to be mourned by many ordinary Iranians.
04:06Larijani's death is a different story.
04:10He wasn't necessarily popular, but he was a figure within the deep state.
04:14And I think it's important to note that he was extremely pragmatic and practical.
04:20He knew the inner workings of the system, and he was responsible for many of the top decisions that the
04:28state was taking,
04:30particularly in relation to the nuclear file and the conduct of the war.
04:36He was extremely pragmatic.
04:37So I wonder if his killing was deliberate on the part of Israel.
04:43In the very latest, Iran is vowing revenge against Israel for an attack that killed its top national security official,
04:51Ali Larijani.
04:52The leader of Iran's paramilitary force was also killed.
04:57The commander-in-chief of Iran's army says the response will be decisive.
